紐約,2024年5月15日 /PRNewswire/ — Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP今天宣佈,領先的 “加密原生” 律師劉易斯·里納多·科恩、格雷戈裏·斯特朗和莎拉·陳已加入該公司,擔任卡希爾全球認可的數字資產和新興技術業務或 “CaHillnXT” 業務的合夥人。CaHillnXT業務將由卡希爾合夥人薩姆森· “山姆” · 恩澤(他在2021年創立了卡希爾的加密貨幣和金融科技業務部)和劉易斯·科恩共同主持。科恩先生、斯特朗先生和陳女士的到來將包括在特拉華州開設由特拉華州司法部前副總檢察長斯特朗先生領導的卡希爾辦事處,因爲該州在數字資產領域以及Cahill專注於金融服務的業務中對客戶具有戰略重要性。
For over a century, Cahill has been recognized for innovation and excellence in helping traditional financial institutions resolve their thorniest legal and business challenges. Through its CahillNXT practice, the firm is now at the forefront of guiding the next generation of entrepreneurs and businesses in the burgeoning digital assets sector (sometimes known as "Web3") through the maze of opportunities and risks on the cutting edge of the intersection of digital assets, emerging technology, and finance. The combined practice will provide corporate governance, capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, regulatory compliance, and litigation advice, from start-up formation, product structuring, fundraising, licensing, intellectual property, dealmaking and due diligence, to handling clients' internal investigations, regulatory compliance and enforcement matters, and bet-the-company civil and criminal litigation.
一個多世紀以來,Cahill在幫助傳統金融機構解決其最棘手的法律和商業挑戰方面的創新和卓越表現一直受到認可。通過其CaHillNXT業務,該公司現在處於指導新興數字資產領域(有時稱爲 “Web3”)的下一代企業家和企業走過數字資產、新興技術和金融交匯前沿的機會和風險迷宮的最前沿。合併後的業務將提供公司治理、資本市場、兼併和收購、監管合規和訴訟建議,從創業公司成立、產品結構、籌資、許可、知識產權、交易和盡職調查,到處理客戶的內部調查、監管合規和執法事宜,以及押注公司的民事和刑事訴訟。
Mr. Cohen, Mr. Strong, and Ms. Chen are true crypto natives, having long focused their practice on the adoption and use of blockchain technology and tokenization across a wide range of market-leading projects, along the way handling general corporate matters, venture financing, securities law compliance, and financial regulatory matters. Their clients have included some of the world's leading blockchain development companies, foundations, digital asset gaming platforms, trading firms, digital wallet-service providers, blockchain infrastructure providers, venture capital firms, and traditional financial institutions.
科恩先生、斯特朗先生和陳女士是真正的加密原住民,長期以來,他們的執業重點是將區塊鏈技術和代幣化應用於各種市場領先項目,包括處理一般公司事務、風險融資、證券法合規和金融監管事務。他們的客戶包括一些世界領先的區塊鏈開發公司、基金會、數字資產遊戲平台、貿易公司、數字錢包服務提供商、區塊鏈基礎設施提供商、風險投資公司和傳統金融機構。
"Lewis is a trailblazer and thought leader, having co-founded one of the very first law firms focusing on clients engaging with the digital asset space. Nearly six years ago, Lewis recognized the potential for this community to create new and groundbreaking commercial and economic models. Lewis and his colleagues built a leading Web3-focused legal brand through a singular focus on the needs of clients working in the blockchain space, while remaining true to the sector's open-source and community-oriented ethos," said Sam Enzer, Co-Chair of the CahillNXT practice. "By joining forces as CahillNXT, our combined team has the capacity to handle the most significant and complex legal and business challenges that the industry faces, from helping our clients structure, develop, and launch projects that involve the use of crypto assets, to defending them in civil and criminal litigation or regulatory enforcement matters."
“劉易斯是一位開拓者和思想領袖,他與他人共同創立了最早專注於客戶參與數字資產領域的律師事務所之一。大約六年前,劉易斯認識到了這個社區創造新的突破性商業和經濟模式的潛力。劉易斯和他的同事們通過專注於區塊鏈領域客戶的需求,建立了一個以Web3爲重點的領先法律品牌,同時忠於該行業的開源和以社區爲導向的精神,” caHillnXT業務聯席主席山姆·恩澤說。“通過與CaHillNXT聯手,我們的合併團隊有能力應對該行業面臨的最重大和最複雜的法律和商業挑戰,從幫助我們的客戶構建、開發和啓動涉及使用加密資產的項目,到在民事和刑事訴訟或監管執法事務中爲他們辯護。”
"In three short years, Cahill's practice in this space has grown from nascent to top-tier," said Herb Washer, Chair of Cahill's Executive Committee. "Last year, we unveiled a long-term plan to further diversify and grow Cahill, focusing on our most successful and profitable practices. With the addition of this remarkable team, our plan is right on schedule, reinforcing Cahill as the premier destination for both traditional financial institutions and emerging companies across the ever-evolving digital assets sector."
卡希爾執行委員會主席赫伯·瓦什說:“在短短的三年內,卡希爾在這一領域的執業已從初級發展到一流水平。”“去年,我們公佈了一項長期計劃,旨在進一步實現Cahill的多元化和發展,重點關注我們最成功和最賺錢的業務。隨着這支出色團隊的加入,我們的計劃如期進行,鞏固了Cahill作爲傳統金融機構和新興公司在不斷變化的數字資產領域的首選目的地的地位。”
"For more than a century, Cahill has been a leader in providing counsel to the financial services industry. Then, in the blink of an eye, Sam and Cahill built a remarkable and industry-leading digital asset practice," said Lewis Cohen, Co-Chair of the CahillNXT practice. "My colleagues and I couldn't be happier to join this team launched by Sam, who successfully led some of the government's earliest, groundbreaking cases in this field as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York."
“一個多世紀以來,Cahill一直是爲金融服務行業提供諮詢的領導者。然後,轉眼間,山姆和卡希爾建立了卓越且行業領先的數字資產業務。” CaHillNXT業務聯席主席劉易斯·科恩說。“我和我的同事們能加入這個由山姆組建的團隊,他作爲紐約南區的聯邦檢察官成功領導了該領域的一些政府最早的開創性案件。”
Prior to joining Cahill in 2021, Mr. Enzer served for eight years as a federal prosecutor for the Department of Justice in the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where he rose to become a senior member of the SDNY Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force and spearheaded multiple groundbreaking cryptocurrency enforcement matters. He has been described as "one of the leading cryptocurrency enforcement attorneys to come out of government service in recent years" by The National Law Journal and as the "SDNY Crypto Ace" by Law360.
在2021年加入Cahill之前,Enzer先生曾在美國紐約南區檢察官辦公室(SDNY)擔任司法部聯邦檢察官八年,在那裏他升任SDNY證券和大宗商品欺詐工作組的高級成員,並領導了多起開創性的加密貨幣執法事務。他被描述爲 “近年來退出政府部門的主要加密貨幣執法律師之一” 《國家法律雜誌》 並被評爲 “SDNY 加密王牌” Law360。
Mr. Cohen, Mr. Strong and Ms. Chen were authors of a first-of-its-kind 2022 study of crypto assets analyzing why secondary market crypto asset transactions are not "securities" subject to the Securities Exchange Commission's enforcement jurisdiction. This seminal 180-page "open source" work, made available for free to market participants, regulators and others in the industry, summarizes all 266 appellate cases to have applied the Supreme Court's "Howey test" since 1946 and guides many industry players as they navigate the application of U.S. securities laws and rules to new, developing asset classes. This three-partner team joining Cahill will be augmented by a highly experienced coder and developer able to help clients bridge the gap between code and law.
科恩先生、斯特朗先生和陳女士是2022年首例加密資產研究的作者,該研究分析了爲什麼二級市場加密資產交易不是受證券交易委員會執法管轄的 “證券”。這份長達180頁的開創性的 “開源” 著作免費提供給市場參與者、監管機構和其他業內人士,它總結了所有266起適用最高法院的上訴案件”Howey 測試” 自1946年以來,指導許多行業參與者如何將美國證券法律和規則應用於新的發展中的資產類別。加入Cahill的這個由三人組成的團隊將得到一位經驗豐富的程序員和開發人員的支持,他們能夠幫助客戶彌合守則與法律之間的差距。
